[Violence and its repercussions on health: theoretical reflections and magnitude of the problem in Mexico].
Our understanding of violence gains from perspectives contributed by several different disciplines. The differences among goals and points of view are often reflected in their vocabularies and interfere in to integrate the advances by each of them. Three big disciplines have studied violence, those are: Social Sciences, Criminal Justice and most recently Public Health. This paper discusses the theoretical perspectives by discipline and try to dimensionate the violence problem measured by mortality and morbidity by intentional injuries in México.
